Hello, my name is Philip. I own an '04 JCW. I really regret my decision because of the distance to an authorized dealer, but I will be able to do all the basic work myself in a few hundred miles (50K)

 

WOW, so your saying you're sorry you bought your Mini . That's too bad. Anyway, Welcome to NAM. I'm sure after riding some of the twisties up in your beautiful neck of the woods, you'll happy with your Mini

 

I shouldn't take for granted that l live by so many MINI dealers. I "feel your pain".

 

Welcome. My g/f is going to be excited to see this post, she grew up there! Beautiful country you live in, I was just there a few weeks ago. Had lunch at Mr. Gaddys(sp).

That is a bit of a pain. At least you live in a beautiful place!
Are you kidding? Maryville is about 45 min or less from the start of the dragon! I would love to be there!

 

Join us in Chattanooga for one of the Scenic City MINIs events. We're gonna set up a route through the mountains and host the AtlantaMINIs for a fall color cruise when the leaves turn color.

That's what I was thinking... having your cake and eating it too. Tapoco Lodge is awesome, but it'd be so much nicer to be able to sleep in my own bed after a day of Dragon runs. Color me green with envy!

 

I just wanted to let you know I was correct, my GF was excited.

Also envious. Next time I am down in the area, wanna go motor?

 

Sorry to take so long to reply. I'd be happy to meet with you, and if schedule permits, ride. Though I only drive my Mini every so often for fun (it is a commuter), it would be nice to take it over to the dragon. Haven't been there in the car yet. I mostly ride motorcycle for "fun"

 

Hello and welcome to NAM Philip! Even though my profile says I'm in Columbus OHIO, I am actually from Madisonville/Tellico Plains and lived there the first 18 years of my life; it's just the past few that I've been in college @ Ohio State.

Anyway I'm glad to see a few more MINI's populating that area because there aren't many around the Knoxville area. I will come back to TN for a few days later this September, so hit me up if you are interested in a quick little dragon run .

Finally, if you have any questions about your JCW, feel free to ask the NAM community and let us troubleshoot before you ever call the evil dealer.
